How Can I Restrict Setting of Default ALV Layout In Rainbow?

Requirement

You want to restrict some users from setting a default ALV layout in Rainbow reports.

Solution

SAP offers standard authorization objects to control whether a user is allowed to set default ALV layouts.
1. Authorization object S_ALV_LAYO grants authorizations in system level (for all the reports/ALVs).
2. Authorization object S_ALV_LAYR (introduced in note 1667238 - "Introduction of authorization object S_ALV_LAYR") grants authorization for a specific report/ALV.
For a Rainbow variant, you should set authorizations with the following values:
  1. REPORT=/DPS/RET_RAINBOW
  2. HANDLE=<Rainbow variant ID e.g. 0001>
